EVCS, one of the West Coast's largest electric vehicle (EV) fast-charging network operators, and Presto Charging, a leading EV charging software platform, have established a strategic agreement. Presto's electric vehicle clients, including fleets, mobility providers, and companies, will now have direct access to EVCS' West Coast network of over 1,000 chargers.

Through the Presto app, fleets will be able to locate EVCS sites, access live status information of chargers' availability, and initiate charging sessions, making the fast charging experience convenient, reliable, and seamless. Presto's fleet customers can benefit from special rates at EVCS locations via Presto's charging offers, as per EVCS.

The Presto app currently lists EVCS locations in California, with Washington and Oregon to follow in the coming months. The collaboration represents a key step toward a more accessible and integrated electric vehicle charging infrastructure for all consumers.

Noodoe, the chargepoint management system and EV charging cloud services provider for EVCS, is supporting these efforts. Noodoe has exhibited world-class OCPI implementation and effectively integrated the system to allow for seamless roaming between EVCS and Presto.

"We are excited to bring the EVCS network to the Presto app," said Karim Farhat, EVCS Chief Commercial Officer. "Recognizing the crucial need for seamless access to charging infrastructure, this integration empowers fleets to effortlessly locate and use EVCS' extensive network of fast and reliable chargers. Our collaboration with Presto today marks another significant milestone in our roaming efforts, and a step forward in streamlining the transition to a carbon-free electric future for mobility."
